After race at Ballinrobe Tue, 28th Aug, 2018 (1st)  He's likely to get a fair hike in the handicap and as I said to the owner beforehand he's giving some of them five pounds when they should be giving him 30. It was just the fact that he likes the place and after the year I've had when the horses just weren't right in the last couple of months that we said we'd let him take his chance. They were right all year round but they were running a bit flat when the ground was right for them and I panicked a bit with the rain we've had in Galway over the last week or so. He's won three around here now and it doesn't matter what the handicapper does to him we're happy. I'm delighted for John (Rabbitte, owner, from Athenry). Robbie (Colgan) is unbelievable — riding winners at the Curragh, a chase winner there and hurdling winners too. S J Mahon

After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 28th May, 2018 (disq)  Robbie (Colgan) said he was good everywhere and that he had the race in the bag going to the last. He said he'd winged everything and he said he went to the last and asked him to shorten, but Denis (O'Regan) said the same last year that he'd be trying to bring him back and then it'd be just bang. It's grand because it's been hard to get off the mark this year with the ground and everything. S J Mahon

After race at Ballinrobe Tue, 2nd May, 2017 (1st)  I really fancied him at Fairyhouse, but he went lame behind. A horse struck in to him coming down from Ballyhack. He had a nice puffy joint after it, but he was sound two days later. I had him and he won a maiden hurdle. The horses weren't running well then and John (Rabbitte, owner) sent him to John Joe Walsh. He was always going to win when he came back to me! He likes the Galway air! . We will keep it simple with him, he is nicely handicapped. I have a nice lot of horses, probably the strongest team I've ever had for the summer campaign. It's onwards and upwards from here. S J Mahon

After race at Bellewstown Thu, 27th Aug, 2015 (1st)  The owner isn't here tonight as he lost a bit of heart in him. He didn't want to run. He ran awful bad in Galway. Barry (Geraghty) said then he'd never win a maiden and wanted three miles.I half went with him after that and ran over two-and-a-half but something wasn't weighing up and sometimes you have to go with your own instincts.The ground just went against him on his last two runs. He wants good ground. My home place is in Stamullen not far from here and I know this place can dry out in three hours. S J Mahon
